Southern american english is definitely its own language.

Its where everything is a "coke" when I first moved to the south and someone asked me if I wanted coke I would reply no I want dr pepper!

it is the only place I know that puts groceries/stuff in a "sack" and not a bag ..

of course everyone is "fixin" to do something and if you want to know where something is its always "over yonder" instead of over there ..

no one "carries" their bags they "tote" them ..
hence when you go into a grocery store they will inevetably ask you "do you want me to tote those sacks out for you?" first time I heard that one I did a triple take as I was trying to figure out what on earth they meant.

I am sure I can think of many many more .. .. after all I have lived in the south now for almost 19 yrs ..

I will say southern people tend to be some of the nicest folks I have ever met.
